The backup for those assertions is found in the Watchtower magazine, which is the same thing as scripture. We know that because the magazine tells us so. Now stop questioning Jehovah and go sell more magazines!

13Where are the scriptures to back up the highlighted assertions?
by Brainfloss in9 through his son, jehovah established an arrangement here on earth that works in harmony with the invisible part of the organization.
why is a visible arrangement needed to accomplish the work described at matthew 24:14?
consider three reasons.. 10 first, jesus stated that this preaching work would take his disciples to the most distant part of the earth.

Atheists, here is a 'balls' question ---even for all---
by prologos init is very difficult to knock a ball into a hole (like golf), throw it into a receiver's hands (american football) intercept it and knock it over the fence (american cricket).
or to put a sattelite at the right time at the right speed in the right direction in the right place to have it orbit another body, so :.
what ingenious natural & process is it, than can get 9+ zillions bodies to get into the right orbit simultaniously or sequentially and have them remain there for billions of years?

Simple, Gravity and Newton's laws of motion.

Are you as critical of higher education and science as you are of religion?
by EndofMysteries ini am beginning to see a complete unbalanced shift from one end of the spectrum to the other.
i'll use jw's as the example but this would apply to any religion and any person.
if you just accepted the jw teachings unquestionably from the governing body because you felt they were the highest authority on the matter and 'trusted' them before waking up to ttatt you may shift to the other end of the spectrum.

Im sorry to say that none will come to you knocking on the door saying that I have taken some evidence with me and I want to show them for you.
The fact is that these evidences are located, in laboratories, Museums, amongs text schoolars, who have spent many years studuing coneiform, clay plates, hieroglyfs from ancient egypt. Museums all over the world its full of them, in Bagdad, in Cairo, London, Paris. The next thing you must do is start to learn some of these technics, languages. This is a very time consuming effort. Or you can just trust that 99% of the professors, textcrackers, scientific world are very honest, and eager to expose enyone of them if they cheat.
You know, almost all of this is available over the internet. No, it won't come knocking at your door, but it isn't hard to find if you want to verify something. You don't have to accept something just because a bunch of scientist say so, but you better have some actual facts to back up your position, and you are always free to ask questions and do research.
Remember, honest scientists will tell you there is no such thing as "settled science." What science provides is the best explanation for a set of facts available at the current time. ALL scientific findings are subject to scrutiny, some have withstood the testing better than others. Any scientific finding can be overturned at any time.

Russian Parliament Approves Military Action in the Crimea
by ABibleStudent inwhy did russian president vladimir putin ask the russian parliament to approve using military forces to keep the peace in the crimea, instead of asking the un?
why did the russian parliment pass a law approving military force instead of asking for the un to send peace keeping forces to the crimea (http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/01/world/europe/ukraine-politics/index.html?hpt=hp_t1)?.
is russia spiralling into a totalitarian dictatorship like germany in the 1930's and the soviet union from 1920's - 1990's with information control and coercive tactics?

I would be astounded if the UN can do anything. Russia is a permanent member of the Security Council, they will veto in action.

It is clear that Putin's goal is to rebuild either the Soviet Union or Imperial Russia, I don't think he cares which one it is as long as he's on top. Accordingly he does not want peace in Ukraine, he wants to take it over. Given President Obama's comments on lines in the sand in Syria and the like, I don't think he sees in downside to making the attempt. To be fair, I hope we stay out of this one, war with Russia will get ugly fast.
Band, do you have a picture of these guys? If they're wearing camo, take a close look for insigna, its there but also camouflaged.

ALL JW's to be at the meeting this week...
by Newly Enlightened in.
we asked this person if it could be aqbout the terminology change and they said that was already read last week...... we remember the last time they did this.
got everyone all excited thinking the big "a" was coming and all it was about, was the literature would now be donated instead of charging for it.. .

Is North Korea starting to prosper?
by fulltimestudent indr leonid petrov (one of my former teachers at sydney u) notes that there are increasing signs or prosperity in nk.
in the mid 1990's the dprk population suffered from an aggravated famine that was likely linked to an industrial collapse.
western trade embargoes probably made the situation even worse, but since the administration would not reveal information, it may be a long time before we know the details.. but strangely, there seem some to be some increasing signs of prosperity.. .

There are new high rise apartments in Pyongyang, and more modern cars on the road
I count all of five cars in that picture. I suppose that if there weren't any a couple of years ago, that is a big increase percentage-wise. Makes me wonder what the inside of those buildings look like.
